What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A cabinet base made from engineered wood readily absorbs a leak. Early extraction and dehumidification shorten the time that the material stays wet at a Santa Monica property.
- Stop running the dishwasher and close its accessible water valve if the area is safe.
- Keep people off soft or lifted flooring to avoid further damage.
- Avoid using wet outlets, cords or the appliance; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
- Move loose items from the wet floor without pulling up fixed flooring.
- Photograph the water path and floor changes before cleanup starts.
